Before preparing to enter the palace, the first thing he did was to carefully plan a route to escape from the palace.

If Xu Xinyue were ever in a dangerous situation and on the verge of being exposed, he would ensure that he could take her away from here as quickly as possible.

He made all possible preparations for her withdrawal.

Hearing that she wanted to go to Prince Su's Mansion, Qin Yuechuan had a guess in his mind.

He replied in a hoarse voice: "Okay."

Xu Xinyue put the empty bowl back into the food box. "I have never been to Prince Su's Mansion. Although there is no official master there now, it should still be dangerous..."

Qin Yuechuan said: "I will never give up even if it means I will go through mountains of swords and seas of fire."

Xu Xianyue sighed softly: "Xuan San, do people in your line of work often talk about life and death?"

Xu Xinyue raised her eyes and corrected him: "If you were killed halfway through, would I still be able to survive?"

"..."

Xu Xinyue murmured as if jokingly: "You have to know that I am a very weak master. If you die, with my agility, I might be caught before I can even climb over the wall. Then I really won't be able to survive."

"You have to do your best to protect yourself before you can protect me. Do you understand?"

"The most important thing is to stay alive. As long as there is green hills, there will be no shortage of firewood."

"…I understand."

"Well, if that's the case, Gongcheng... I guess I can only ask Ling'er to cover up for a little bit."

Xu Xinyue asked him, "Do you need me to give you some time to explore the Su Palace first?"

Qin Yuechuan originally wanted to say no, as he had made some preparations, but then he changed his mind and realized that he had important matters to discuss with He Xuehuai, so he really needed to leave for a while.

He answered her: "Yeah."

Xu Xinyue asked again: "Then... do you have enough time tonight?"

Qin Yuechuan replied with one word: "Enough."

Xu Xianyue smiled and stopped asking him. She stood up and walked towards the inner room: "When you come back, bring some things back for me quietly."

After just a cup of tea, Xu Xinyue walked out of the inner hall again and handed him a list.

Xu Xinyue thought to herself that she might quietly make some supplemental medicine powder at night in case of emergency.

The voice in front of him suddenly said, "I won't be away for too long, just one hour... No, I will be back in less than one hour."

Xu Xianyue nodded and replied calmly: "Well, okay, you can make your own plans."

Xu Xinyue was probably extremely tired, and she slept until the sun set and the night fell before she woke up.

Xu Xinyue pressed her palm against her forehead and called out vaguely, "Hongzhu."

Hong Zhu's voice came from outside, and she walked in quickly: "Princess."

"What time is it?"

"It's two quarters past noon."

Xu Xianyue looked at the sky and asked, "Where's Ming Wu?"

"Princess, do you want some snacks? Ming Wu just left and he went to the kitchen. He said that the princess wanted to eat something and she would probably have to wait for a while. He would be back in less than an hour."

"Tell this servant to stay here and watch over the princess until she wakes up."

Xu Xinyue knew that he was most likely going to Prince Su's Mansion to explore the way.

Xu Xinyue lifted the quilt and got off the bed. "There is nothing for you to do here. You can go down and rest."

After Hong Zhu left, Xu Xinyue moved to the window. Her black hair fell behind her like a waterfall. When the night wind blew across her cheeks and hair, she didn't feel cold at all.

She looked up at the colorful clouds in the inky night sky, which slowly spread across the sky, holding a full moon in the center. The scattered moonlight reflected the silhouettes of the eaves of the palace's stacked buildings.

I don't know what I was thinking, I just muttered:

"...The day I left seemed to be a full-moon night as well..."

The moonlight shines on the other side——

"My Lord, Prince Rong is here..."

Before Chen Song finished speaking, Qin Yuechuan walked straight into He Xuehuai's study and said directly:

"Last time you said that Ana Luo went to look for Qiu Chu. Is there any news?"

He Xuehuai put down the yellowed old book in his hand, frowned deeply, and said with difficulty: "Not yet... Ana Luo hasn't sent back any news. Qiu Chu has always been homeless and has been traveling everywhere in recent years..."

Qin Yuechuan propped up the table with his five fingers on one hand, suppressed his impatient tone, and said in a painful voice: "I heard Yueyue arguing with that person today. If I can't find a way to resolve it, I don't know how long Yueyue can stand against that person."

He Xuehuai was puzzled for a moment: "...that person?"

Qin Yuechuan took a breath and said, "It's probably the soul that possessed Yueyue's body."

"It seems to be called 'Red Feather'."

"This is the first time I heard that Yueyue quarreled with her in the palace today. If we don't find a way to remove her quickly, I'm afraid Yueyue's body won't be able to bear it."

He Xuehuai stood up, also with a gloomy face and a tight pursed lip, and paced back and forth in the study.

Qin Yuechuan said: "If my guess is correct, Yueyue probably wants to visit Prince Su's mansion at night to find the body for that person."

"I don't know if this trip will yield any results. It would be best if we can find the body. If we can't find the body, I'm afraid Yueyue will have to continue to suffer."

"If I can't get any more news about Qiu Chu, I will have to take a risky move and go to Qin Liexing's place in person as Ming Wu to investigate—"

He Xuehuai immediately waved his hand to stop him: "This method is too dangerous, it must not be done. You are now very close to them. No one in Kyoto knows that you have returned to the capital except us. If you are suddenly exposed, Yueyue will be doomed."

"I will be cautious!"

Qin Yuechuan couldn't help but clench his fist and hit He Xuehuai's wooden table hard. The table surface was dented, cracks spread, and wood chips flew up.

Qin Yuechuan was in so much pain that he wanted to die. He growled, "Do I have to watch Yueyue endure this - this -"

Qin Yuechuan looked at the pit on the table, raised his head suddenly, and asked resolutely: "If it is the art of soul transfer, can you transfer that person's soul into my body——"

Before he finished speaking, a silent voice came from the door of the study:

"Absolutely impossible."

Qin Yuechuan turned around, and He Xuehuai also looked towards the source of the sound, it turned out to be Wuming.

Wuming stepped inside and said, "Not to mention that the souls and bodies of men and women are not compatible, even your body cannot accommodate two souls."

"I once heard Qin Liexing say that your little princess has a rare dual-soul physique. Two souls coexist in one body. If they don't work together, only the strong can control the body."

"Hongyu has been controlling souls for many years, but he still failed here and was forced to be imprisoned by others. This shows that your little princess's soul is not as weak as you think."

"Perhaps, she is much stronger than you think."

"The will is much stronger than you think."

Qin Yuechuan had a cold smile on his face, and every word he said was as sharp as a knife: "If it weren't for Yueyue, wouldn't you have been a wandering ghost somewhere?"

"I heard that Yueyue had someone fish your body out of the sea of ​​fire. I guess Qin Liexing had planned to not let you return to your original body after your soul was transferred, and use you for the rest of your life."

"If there was no Yueyue, why would you be here talking nonsense?"

Wuming's eyes were like ripples caused by a stone thrown into a quiet pond. He lowered his head and took out a blueprint from his sleeve and placed it on the table: "I will do my best to repay you for saving my life."

"The blueprint in my hand is just a small one. It contains the temporary storage location of the body controlled by Qin Liexing. It may be helpful to you."
